@Watchb, in the middle section of the act method, you will see where I detect a keystroke, make it uppercase and call the 'letterClicked' method if the key is between "A" and "Z" inclusive. key.charAt(0) returns the ascii code value for the first (and only) character in the 'key' String object ('A' = 65 and 'Z' = 90); subtracting 65 from that gives a range of 0 to 25, which is the index of the Letter actor in the 'letters' array that contains the image of the 'key' letter. The 'letters' array contains the Letter actors that can be clicked on near the bottom of the screen. The Letters class can be found at the end of the Hangman class code.

@mandyg233, log in, click 'Run', move the mouse so that your button touches a smiley, click on a button (other that 'New Game') along the bottom of high score screen.

@Peach, the code you are showing gets a new random word and draws the underlines on the world background for each letter in the new word. 'baseX' is assigned the calculated x-coordinate for where the underline for the first letter in the new word is to go. Once that value is determined, the 'for' loop can draw all the underlines for all the letters in the new word in the proper positions so the word is centered along the base of the screen.

@Peach, maybe you are not missing a comma (the comma is so close to the 'j', it appears to be part of the 'j'). Please start a discussion on this issue showing how you are trying to use 'private GreenfootImage getLetterImage("A", java.awt.Color.black)'. Without context it is hard to figure out what you are trying to do.

@Peach, it looks like you are missing a comma between "A" and java.awt.Color.black. And, no, you do not have to have 26 methods, one for each letter. The parameter 'alphaChar' can be any one of the alpha characters that is passed to the 'getLetterImage' method.. As far as the '36', refer to the following link: http://www.greenfoot.org/files/javadoc/greenfoot/GreenfootImage.html#GreenfootImage(java.lang.String, int, java.awt.Color, java.awt.Color)
